- Add SCP total spend to calibration targets - Source: Scottish Budget 2026-27, Table 5.08 - Values: £455.8m (2024), £471.0m (2025), £484.8m (2026) - Extrapolates 3% growth for other years Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Closing - SCP is already within 0.7% of target without explicit calibration. Existing Scotland demographic and UC calibration targets are sufficient. |
Move scottish_child_payment df assignment to after the statistics lookup to avoid KeyError when looking up targets. Custom targets (not in statistics CSV) should be added after the initial targets lookup. Also use household_from_person instead of household_from_family since scottish_child_payment is now a Person-level variable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
